Could Trump $1-Coins Go Into Circulation? January 5, 2026

AI prompt: has a coin for general circulation with current serving president ever been released?

Simple majority: all that's needed by US Congress to pass the bill to authorize a commemorative coin. 

My hunch: if the US Congress does not authorize a $1-Trump coin along with all other presidential coins for the occasion, one of two things will happen (or both):

  • short term: Venezuela will mint a $1-Trump coin as will any other number of banana republics;
  • the moment he's out office, the US Mint will mint that coin.

Might the US mint a $5 silver coin with Trump's likeness on it?
